Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1189

Debra looked over at the kitchen.

He came out wearing an apron, with a pot in his hands and a harmless smile on his face.

"Mrs. Houston, I made soup for you and Mr. Houston," he said.

His double face was something else.

Randy rubbed his eyes, making sure he wasn't imagining things. The guy had been all gloomy in the kitchen, but in the blink of an eye, he looked sweet and innocent.

"Put it there," Debra replied.

Ivan complied and went back to the kitchen.

Neither Debra nor Marion seemed interested in the soup.

Randy ventured, "Aren't you two going to try it?"

"No need. It's undrinkable," Debra responded.

Skeptically, Erica lifted the lid and sniffed at it. There was no smell.

She tasted a spoonful and frowned. "How did he manage to make something that's both bland and bad?"

"Really?" Randy stepped forward to have a taste.

His face twisted. "How did he make it sweet and salty? Doesn't he even try his own soup?"

Ivan's room was on the south side of the first floor. To get close to the second floor, he would have to pass through at least four security checkpoints.

The headline read that Buchan Entertainment had been acquired by the Nichols Group. Theda had been appointed as the new CEO, taking over Juan's role.

Debra asked, "Theda returned the stock transfer agreement to me. How did she end up as CEO?"

Andrew explained, "You only have 45% of the shares. While you were away, Theda must have given those shareholders enough benefits. In return, they elected her as CEO."
